TOPPLAN

A NEW SOFTWARE FOR DECISION SUPPORT TOOL FOR MEDIUM VOLTAGE POWER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK PLANNERS.

TOPPLAN software is a decision support tool for medium voltage power distribution network planners.

It incorporates the use of flexibility (production and flexible loads) in the long-term dimensioning of the electricity network. It makes it possible to jointly find the topologies and operating modes best suited to future distribution networks, intelligent and flexible. This allows for better utilization the assets and financial gain for society.

TECHNOLOGY

The technological core of TOPPLAN is based on business knowledge and results of multidisciplinary research around advanced mathematics. It uses the most recent mathematical theories: Reformulation, Convexification, Graph Theory, Operations Research, Complexity Theory, among others.
 
The different layers of technology are:
  • Exact modeling of the network planning problem
  • Automation of calculation of planning with performance guarantee
  • Generating of multiple alternative solutions
The ergonomics of the software is adapted to the needs of the planners thanks to an integrated Geographical Information System and brings a clear and concise presentation of the alternatives to the reinforcement.
